There’s none so blind as they that won’t see.Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni’s body floated to the surface of Alaska’s Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can’t remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her.But this time it’s her memory that needs piecing together—to clear her name . . . to find a murderer. This unflinchingly emotional novel is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind teen who just wants to be like everyone else.
Guys, you know me...I just can't resist a gorgeous cover. There's something so hauntingly beautiful about dark, eerie colours and eyes. I'm crazy. I know. Despite all that though, I really think that the premise of Blind Spot is original and engaging and, perhaps, just a wee bit disturbing. Does it really get any better than that? Now that contemporaries aren't disappointing me as much these days, I'm really excited to get my hands on this! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
I'm intrigued by macular degeneration. An issue that hasn't been dealt with yet.
ReplyDeleteO it's sounds so good and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI was going to pick this one this week, but saw the new Valente one and had to pick that instead X-P This is a super gorgeous cover. Can't wait!

I couldn’t agree more about loving this hauntingly beautiful cover. That is what drew me in to this book when I first saw it as well. Can’t wait for it’s release! Great pick!

Another great pick Melissa, I think I've seen this book floating around on my gr feed, it does sound really unique and spooky at the same time! Can't wait to check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the premise of this one! Sounds like a great psychological mystery. And that cover is definitely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe first word that came to my mind for describing the cover was "haunting" too. I really like the premise for this one. It's both a mystery, but also the MC is not like other YA characters. I'll be looking forward to seeing what people think about this book once reviews start appearing.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I've had my eye on this one too! (Pun intended, LOL.) Really interested to see how the macular degeneration aspect comes into play.
ReplyDeleteCreepy!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of this one! Looks intriguing though!
